Retrospective analysis of production of main active ingredients and assortment of disinfectants in Ukraine
Abstract
There are practically no disinfectants on the market of veterinary drugs that fully meet the requirements. This is due to the significant diversity and peculiarity of the structure of microorganisms and their ability to form resistance during long-term use of the same disinfectants. This is one of the reasons for the active search for effective active substances, the development of new drugs, and their registration, contributing to quite intensive changes in the range of disinfectants on the market. The work aimed to analyze the production, determine the share of domestic and imported disinfectants, determine the main active substances, and the range of disinfectants registered in Ukraine. The research material was a list of disinfectants registered in Ukraine used in animal husbandry, veterinary and humane medicine, and the food industry. It was established that from 2018 to 2022, 66 domestic and imported disinfectants were registered in Ukraine. Imported disinfectants are produced mainly in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Israel, Slovenia, Denmark, and the Netherlands. From among domestic companies, PP “Kronos Agro”, LLC “BioTestLab”, LLC “SANFORT-P”, LLC “Brovapharma”, LLC “Ukrvetprompostach”, LLC “Ukrainian-Polish joint enterprise “ZVK”, LLC “VetAgro” are engaged in the production of disinfectants, LLC “Inter-Syntez”, LLC “Ukrainian Chemical Technologies LTD”, LLC “GREENPAKS”, LLC NVK “Globus”, LLC “Vetsyntez”, PF “Termit”, LLC “ABM-Trade”, LLC “Dezsystema”, LLC “Tandem-2002”, NVPP “DEZO” and LLC “UKRTEK KO”. It was determined that manufacturers often use chlorine and oxygen as active ingredients, and the number of products with one active ingredient is relatively insignificant. Most often, the active substance of modern disinfectants is quaternary ammonium salts in combination with aldehydes. Their number is 33.4 % of all registered means. This means combining QAS and acids and QAS and oxygen compounds takes 3.2 times less time. Means containing other combinations of active substances are from 1.5 to 4.6 %. It was established that the leader in the production of imported “cleansing probiotics” (PIP – Probiotics In Progress) is the British company “Ingenious Probiotics”, which produces 66.7 % of registered products. Three companies produce this kind of disinfectant in our country; their assortment includes 23 names, and the largest share belongs to the company “Sirion”.
